Finding The Best Pizza In New York | Food Tours | Insider Food

[@Tamgu]

I am the guy that was shooting the video at Joe's pizza next to your team. Was pleasantly surprised to discover myself on your channel. Love your videos! Hope to see you guys in Seoul sometime. Would love to show you around.

[@Beeheeheee]

you was dressed NICELY man

Is your Joe Pizza video uploaded yet?

Your channel looks super interesting! Shame i dont speak korean and there are no english subtitles :C

[@pfx2259]

These two opposing persona really personified the importance of being nice, communicative and authentic. The pizza helps too.

[@ShoelessJP]

I love Food Tours, because it's the logical next steps for the Food Wars hosts. Sooner rather than later Insider Food is gonna run out of comparisons between multiple countries for Food Wars, and it makes a lot of sense to me to move it to something like this. I am all on board with Harry and Joe! Rock on!

[@PatrickDaviswimiwamwamwazzle]

I'm pretty excited if this idea does well it means the other nations can show their food culture to others. Great way to have cultural exchanges and broaden your mind.

[@PatrickDaviswimiwamwamwazzle]

@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist1 Now do the verse talking about a guy with a donkey schlong.

[@TassadarBJ]

It'd be really interesting if Joe and Harry got back together the next time they're both in town and did a tour of NYC English pubs. I'm sure there are quite a few. Seeing Harry's reactions to that food would be really interesting.

[@nahor88]

I was really excited to try an English breakfast when I visited there, and it just confirmed the Brits aren't good at food, LOL. That's why they had to steal a cuisine from their most lucrative colony and fashion it into their own thing. That being SAID... I did have a really good fish and chips experience. The place I went did a perfect job frying and seasoning the cod.

[@TassadarBJ]

@@nahor88 From what I understand (my in-laws are English) It's a lot of pies, and not nearly enough seasoning. Nothing there has enough S&P, the sodas have like half of the sugar (probably a good thing tbh) and it's just not as creative. I do absolutely love a good Shepherd's pie though.

[@ProTroll_UK]

@@nahor88 you know knob all about English food. A full English breakfast isn’t a measure of anything. Assuming you’re American, would I rate your food based on burger and fries? You can judge American food on its fat content and portion size. Bizarrely you’re passing comment on a video of pizza in the US. Not an American creation is it, just adapted for the yank taste. Not a patch on Italian pizza either. The typical yank would suggest pizza is American. As for fish and chips, I bet you’d not know a decent portion of them if the fish bit you on your arse.

[@sharondwyer8513]

​@@nahor88The only people who could afford spices during those times we're the rich. Myself, I enjoy English meat pies, fish and chips, plus so much more

The Nonna Maria at Bleecker is a legendary slice.

Artichoke is actually a really common topping in pizzas here in Italy. One of the staple pizzas (4 stagioni) consists of tomatoe sauce, mozzarella, mushrooms, ham, olives and artichoke 😂

[@fabs5867]

[@fabs5867]

@@rhaegartargaryen9315 every pizza place here usually has a pizza called "Ortolana" or "Vegetariana" (which literally means vegetarian) which is basically just tomatoe sauce, mozzarella and veggies.

[@kn5w]

Glad you ventured outside of Manhattan for the last one. If you're a Brit that is more used to Italian-style crusts, L'Industrie Pizzeria in Williamsburg is a mix of that, but with New York pizza slice sizes, and it was wonderful. Has a massive queue when we went in the early evening, but it was worth it.

[@dp2120]

That’s the best in my opinion

[@ragoisback]

Another advantage of a hotter oven is that the cheese doesn't cook as long. This ensures the fat doesn't render out and turn the slice into a greasy mess.

My pizza place is in Brooklyn. I've been going there since I was ten. The cheese pulls, the golden crust is crispy and the sauce falls on the plate. Made by Italians. The end

[@RaffyBest]

As an Italian i would like to say something about the "rulebook" that Joe mentioned earlier in the video, saying that for us there are more thing that you CAN'T do with pizza than the opposite. I mean, until a few years ago that was true, because from all the famous "pizzaioli" (pizza chef), or chef in general, here in Italy mostly belong to the old generation, from the 60s to the middle-late 80s. The new generation of pizza chef are way more open minded, I saw videos of an italian foodblogger who went to different places where young and excellent chefs made many different types of pizza, with ingredients that are rarely seen on the traditional italian pizzas. Trust me, just give us time, the old generation is still attacched to the nazionalistic (?) spirit where italy is the king of food and no one can break the rules we made. I saw this video with my stomach roumbling cause those pizzas looked delicious

[@RaffyBest]

Thank you for the response! I just wanted to clear things up on this topic because I always see and read opinions about italians that as the time passes are just becoming stereotypes rather than actual truth. Really really appreciate that someone actually read all my comment and found it interesting, even because english is obv not my first language and I' trying my best to be clear. Now it's lunch time but this evening I'm gonna eat a good old pizza from a pizzeria near by like every saturday evening 😂🍕

YES! The return of an incredible series

[@davin510]

I used to live in the west village a block from bleecker street (btw bleecker street pizza, Johns, and joes are all within 3 min walk of each other). This video is definitely bringing back the nostalgia. For me, each of these places also served different purposes Bleecker street pizza: across from the Christopher street metro stop. The most topping options and thicker than a Joe’s slice, so it was the perfect after work, off the subway, dinner slice John’s: usually has a line and is sit down only, so a place you took friends & family from out of town Artichokes: on 14th next to east village bar. incredibly greasy. The 2am slice. A scene in and of itself Joe’s: centrally located and thinnest of the pizzas. The perfect snack slice when you’re walking through the village Grimaldi’s: never been. it’s in Brooklyn, might as well be in a different state
